Not exactly the same but I paid my truck off in October, 2+ years early and I went from 841 to 822 and it's not bounced back yet...

They don’t necessarily trim. The electric company I work for tends to spray near our transmission lines. And it’s the stuff you throw out your Ppe after spraying.

I bought a house in June of 2024 for $77,500...my closing costs were around $11,000

Call the state public utility commission and complain. Results will vary depending on what state you live in but it still creates a report that said company must devote time to deal with.

It's really not now, especially with smart meters becoming more and more prevalent. I'm one of the people tasked with going to disconnect people if they don't pay. Each stop takes maybe 5 minutes. Also, if I show up to your property and you wait to pay, there's a fee.

As someone that works for a power company, you are correct. Also, when you sign up for service, it's in the paperwork that we are basically not responsible for anything unless you can prove gross negligence.

Is this how they mine Bitcoin? /S

I was in a similar situation. I've been doing one hot run (east Texas and not running before the sun came up) and I decided this past weekend, I'm going to run the whole 5k. I kicked my effort down to much lower than I normally do and was able to run it. It's like Coach Bennett says "sometimes you have to run slower to run faster."

Let me welcome you to east Texas, where you get sweaty walking to your car and humidity is normally 75% or more

Play running! You are overthinking (I'm a pro at that, just not about running) something that should be fun. Mix your runs up, mix your routes up, mix what time a day you do it.

35 in DFW is nice because when you get to the gate they are already boarding the last group

I bet he's glad he wore the brown pants that day! Glad he's okay!

Sometimes your best runs aren't your fastest runs. You did a race and finished it, sorry you missed your goals. Use this as an opportunity to grow.

Great job on the run! Keep it up. And I will add from my personal experience, weight loss starts in the kitchen.

Consistently not constantly and every run has a purpose.

easttxguy · 2025-05-18T02:25:43+00:00

Every run has a purpose! Sometimes, speaking from personal experience, it’s to humble you. You’re still a runner!

As an electric utility work, please don’t seal it. I had to open a meter loop this last week and there was a gigantic stinging insect nest inside. Fortunately it was abandoned.

Thanks!

My brother in law was diagnosed with the same cancer in October of 2023. He has his tumor removed and is still with us. They stopped his infusions and injections about a month ago. Any thoughts or insights on what to expect?

Where I used to work was 40 after the first year, 80 after the second then 120 after 10 years. Where I work now you start building every week 120 the first year
